    Nonsense and lies

    based as it is upon the THEORY that CO2 changes are a driver of temperature change, and that the only things supporting this theory are computer models, not direct observation.

    Complete lie. Gardeners have directly observed the greenhouse effect for centuries, that's why it's called the greenhouse effect. Furthermore we have loads and loads of proof from ice-rings to tree trunks, to geology, that co2, contrary to your assertion, often precedes warming on a global scale as well. Even further, it makes perfect sense that the effects seen in a greenhouse are mirrored on a larger scale. Why should scale change the basic equation that co2 stores solar energy? Answer: it does not, and any child should be able to use the first law of thermodynamics to prove that fairly easily.

    Your lies don't change the science, as much as you may wish for this to be true.

    Indeed, CO2 levels appear to change several centuries AFTER temperature changes. An immutable law, until time machines are invented, is that causes cannot follow effects.

    Source please. Jesus Daily News does not count.
